I used to skip the first season of a show if the reviews were mixed, but a friend in Denver called me an idiot for missing the setup.

He said 'you're missing the whole character foundation' after I complained about not getting a plot twist in season 2. Anyone else forced to change a dumb viewing habit?

My Denver friend said the same thing, and now I watch every pilot.

What if the setup is just bad? Some shows earn those mixed reviews.

But critics can get it wrong too.

Check the first three episodes to see if the vibe works for you. I agree with @kim_hall80 that sometimes a shaky start is just a shaky start, not a setup for something great. Your time is worth more than forcing yourself through a whole bad season.
